I ABSOLUTELY NAILED THAT PREDICTION! I said that exact thing would happen about 2 years ago, the moment ZO6s were released base model C8s were going to tank. Why pay 6 figures for a base model? Like ever?!?!?!? Makes no sense.

It took 2 years for the Z06's to tank after their availability, and the ZR1's will force them down a bit, but not completely. Z06 being NA won't ever go away. Regardless, I'm keeping the car forever, so it's irrelevant. ZR1 with forced induction is not what I want.

Absolutely this. I started a thread at the other place two years ago that got over 200 replies before the mods locked it for getting political that basically said you'd have to be an idiot to pay MSRP or over sticker for a C8 when history will just repeat itself. Some of the funniest replies were the ones that said Corvette's were never $8000 off sticker

The famous Warren Buffet quote is “The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.” except in this case it's the Corvette shopper

You mean shitting on someone for spending $9K on a door and in the next breath stating you can afford $25k….on a door.

Yes, those assholes exist

There was a yellow Z06 C8 in the parking lot over by our house this week ... I gotta say that Z06 package w Z07 really makes that thing look uber cool / exotic ... really growing on me ...

Woot! Now that my car is on the website, it looks like it must finally be on a truck. Will confirm today.

It's not for a lightbulb like you might expect in a trunk, it's an LED lighting package illuminates the engine compartment. For $100, seemed like a cool option to me.

Lot a cheapskates out there. Look how the other 11 are priced and configured at Estero Bay.

Except for the yellow 1LZ, my car is $55k more than the next highest priced one. Most of these were ordered for stock and configured by the dealership. Maybe they think the economy is too soft and want cheaper cars?

Great looking car. Is it normal for your dealership to post a car on their website that has already been spoken for?

Dealers don't do this, GM does this automatically as part of the software. That's why some on CF have been fooled that a Z06 is on the lot and is for sale at MSRP. Having said that, nearly every other one on the lot is available, but I believe they are all over MSRP now, including the Stingrays.
